I bought this mower about a month ago and had my grandboys mow my yard but when it got hot it would be hard to start unless I removed the air filter. In addition, gas would ignite in the muffler indicating too much fuel was being fed in.
Removing the fan cover I found this link from the carb choke (lower right) to a Thermostat (lower left). I spread out the link to allow less choke and now it starts up when very hot. This engine is a B&S 093J00. I suspect this choke will be a problem child in the future. I also removed the spark plug to check the gap and it was about 0.0215" just slightly over the spec of 0.02."
